Premiere of Spiri I: Stained Ritual
In October 2025, the world premiere of Spiri I: Stained Ritual will complete Seung-Won Oh’s Spiri Trilogy (2023–2025). The trilogy reflects on universal life energy (spirit, ki, qi, prana) and humanity’s fleeting presence within cosmic time. Across its three orchestral works, a recurring five-note chaconne binds the cycle together, transforming endlessly through different compositional lenses.
Spiri I: Stained Ritual opens the trilogy with reimaginings of this fragmented chaconne— layered, and transformed—setting the tone while foreshadowing later works.
The premiere takes place in the Flame of Genius concert by the Symphony Orchestra of the Royal Conservatoire Den Haag (koncon.nl), conducted by Jac van Steen, alongside Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto and Bruckner’s Symphony No. 1.
📍 Amare, Den Haag
